WHEN SHOULD I BOOK A TAN FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION I HAVE COMING UP?

We suggest scheduling an airbrush tan a few weeks before your special occasion as a "trial run" to ensure you're satisfied with the results. When booking for the actual event, we recommend doing so two or three days in advance. Make sure to arrange for your sunless tan to be your final beauty appointment you have before your event (nail appointments, waxing, massages, etc.)

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE MY SPRAY TAN SESSION?

The essential preparation step before your airbrush tanning session is to exfoliate your skin thoroughly the day before (or 12-24 hours) to remove any left over sunless tan and slough off all dead skin cells.
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO COMPLETE YOUR PREP SHOWER THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT.
Consider using our PREP KIT, available in-store a few days before your appointment.
Ensure that all makeup, deodorant, and lotions are completely removed. Make sure any nail appointments, waxing, facials, and/or massages are done at least 24 hours before your Sunless Session.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR DURING MY APPOINTMENT?

Feel free to wear whatever makes you most comfortable during your session; however, keep in mind anything you choose to leave on during your appointment will leave a tan line.
Swimsuits, strapless bras, and undergarments are all suitable alternatives based on your preference. We also provide complimentary tanning undergarments for use.
For men, swim trunks, underwear or shorts are required.
After your session, it's recommended to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing. Avoid tight clothing items like yoga pants, skinny jeans, or leggings. Think comfy & baggy!

WHEN CAN I SHOWER?

If you opt for our Classic rinse, an 8-hour solution, it's crucial to wait a minimum of 8 hours before showering. During this period, it's advisable to avoid activities such as swimming, working out, or anything causing excessive sweating.
Alternatively, the Rapid rinse formula allows you to shower 2-6 hours after your session, making it a convenient choice, especially if you have evening plans or prefer not to sleep in the solution.
Lastly, our quickest rinse option, the Express rinse, allows you to shower in 1-2 hours after your session, perfect for moms with littles or last minute bookings requiring your to shower as soon as possible.
Keep in mind that while the color will still take 12-24+ hours to fully develop, the Rapid and Express solution options provide the flexibility of an earlier shower (not quicker development).
If you're uncertain about which tan suits you best, feel free to send us a message or chat with any of our staff members upon your arrival!

HOW LONG DOES THE SPRAY TAN LAST?

Our sunless tans are formulated to last 7-10 days, so well into your honeymoon!
Now, this number can be affected by how your prep your skin for the tan AND by what you are using on your body after your spray tan.
Make sure you have at the minimum a tan-safe Body Lotion AND a tan-safe Body Wash to get you through the wedding without any cracking from dry skin or premature fading from product residues.

IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN PURCHASE TO HELP EXTEND MY TAN?

There are a few tips and tricks we always recommend for clients looking to get the MOST out of their Sunless Tan.
1. Add-On Moisture Lock to your spray tan service. This is a post-tan hydrator, applied by your technician, that seals in moisture and helps prolong the tan by 2-3 days.
2. If you are going to any tropical destinations for or after your wedding, we LOVE sending clients off with our Glo on the Go Kit! This entire kit is TSA-approved and will help replenish color that has been lost from the elements.
3. Lastly, we recommend using a Tan Extending Lotion in the evenings, starting on day 3 of your tan, to gradually replenish color that is lost from your skin naturally shedding / tan fading. *Make sure to wash your hands after using any tan extenders or gradual tanners as they can stain/tan the palms of the hands.

WHAT PRODUCTS CAN I USE ON MY SUNLESS TAN?

To make this selection easier for you, we have formulated an entire line of Spray Tan Safe products that you can shop in store or online.
You will NOT want to use baby oil, products containing mineral oil, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Alcohol, or acne washes with your spray tan. These will all fade your airbrush tan faster. We also recommend using a pH gel-based body wash to shower and shave with. AVOID using Dove, Oil of Olay or any Bath & Body Works soaps/body wash. When choosing a moisturizer for your tan, make sure there is no mineral oils in the ingredient list. 

CAN I SPRAY TAN WHILE PREGNANT?

Most people (including expecting mama's-to-be) are suitable for airbrush tanning.
However, every person and every pregnancy is different so, if you have any concerns, we would recommend consulting with your OBGYN.
All of our tanning rooms are equipped with the best extraction systems on the market to reduce overspray inhalation. All of our sunless solutions are also naturally derived solutions with only the best ingredients.
